where we won't go

Four hard leaves in a pot Is what I got Is what I've got You left the sticker on the bottom With the price tag stuck I picked a vessel that I knew Would make it easy on you Forget about it weeks at a time It'll still survive What am I supposed to do with these roots That I've overgrew Every time I water you It reminds me of where love won't grow Do I look pretty Or should I be cool Do you like when I wear my sneakers Or a short skirt after school Running down the meadow When I can't decide But you've already struck a deal And I'm left with an empty line I've mourned a million places and faces Who don't even know me How can you crave a lullaby that you've never heard Stacking footsteps in the grass Four right turns in a row My shoes are wet From the places we won't go
